Excellent shot. Shows the wing detail perfectly. Interesting one, you could easily mistake it for a Ruddy at a (very!) casual glance.

Hi glsammy,

thanks for the kind comments.

I think some Ruddy Darters are being reported as Yellow-Winged especially when the yellow at the base of the wing is larger than normal. Every year I chase a few 'Yellow-winged 'round only to find they are Ruddy!

Cheers
